When we tell y’all we are SO PROUD OF DANTE!!! This man is Gods kid & we love him so much😭😭❤️❤️‍🩹

Can I just confess that I was hoping Dante would reveal a tiny nugget of juicy gossip, but he was super classy! Let me go pray! The pod was great. Thank you for always allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through Tim and all Basement guests.

I suffered from infertility tried for so many years to get pregnant. I always prayed to god to please bless me with a child. I was watching a mother play with her son on tik tok one day I cried and screamed to God "God please give me a child!!!!!" that same day something in me told me to take a pregnancy test... it came back positive! I couldnt believe it I was in tears and in shock!I took more pregnancy tests and they all came back positive! A week after I found out I was pregnant I found a cross necklace a few steps away from where I worked at and I then knew it was really God all along and never left my side. I now have a 11 month healthy beautiful baby boy. He's turning 1 in a few days! ❤ God is good!💜Amen🙏🏾

This was not a typical check off the list interview but a genuine conversation.

“I was working without communion”. Huge insight 🤯

I pray one day he writes a book about this season of his life. Because this is a necessary chapter of life. Decluttering.

Tim is a Pastor to his core! I love how he so effortlessly and graciously reaches and loves on his guest.

I must say, that it frustrates me so much when a child of God falls and instead of the people who claims to be Children of God themselves, shun, talk about, judge, and or distant themselves from the fallen. Where is the Godly love. Where is the " I'M here for you brother, let's talk about it when you're ready, let's pray, and I'm here and praying for you". Then you wonder why so many people stay away from the church. I'm so happy that Dante has done the work and is stepping out in his ministry of music. Thank you, Tim, for giving this space and sharing with and in Dante's love. God bless you both. Being a babe in Christ, this type of love and fellowship is exactly what I needed to see and hear.

As the sister of a strong Christian who won his first Grammy early in his career as a secular artist, what Dante’s saying is so true. It can be traumatic for the artist (and even their family to experience & be targeted alongside) the person being attacked at every angle, including the church, as they’re still learning and navigating the industry. There’s almost no grace because music industry = Babylon to the church. So instead of being Mordecais to the Esthers called into that space, they slander them. Without trusted other strong Christians inside AND outside the industry surrounding them, helping them stay focused on truth despite it all, the calling can get overwhelming. He’s now 3 Grammys and 10+ years in, and the need for that level of community only becomes greater. He doesn’t take the community he has had for granted and he taps into us DAILY, MULTIPLE times a day!! So I’m truly very proud of Dante for the journey he’s chosen to go on 🙏🏾🙏🏾 don’t just pray for these artists who are Christian, but pray for their Christian villages to stand strong around them. We love you, Donte!

Dante, WOW, Thanks for TELLING IT in transparency. Blessing. I'm so with you-experiencing same. Prayers Out.

I wish The Basement could offer small groups because this is the community I’ve BEEN searching for ❤ the authenticity, the realness and best of all, biblical text that prove the God’s truth. God bless this ministry and all the people involved to make this happen. Love you all! ❤

I would listen to this song every day but a night before one of the scariest exam papers, I listened to this song and the words " late in the midnight hour God's gonna turn it around, it's gonna work in your favor" sounded like I heard them for the first time. At that moment I knew God got me in that exam the next day. And now I'll be graduating 🥺✨

This 51 y/o man was jumping around like a child when I saw Dante Bowe was gonna be in the Basement!! Amazing gift this man is!! LET’S GOOOOO!!

Decluttering of your soul released a stream from your soul! You don't have to answer to everybody's questions unless it has to be with your purpose! When people can't empathize they can't contextualize! Just mind blowing! Truly impacted! Wonderful podcast! Thank you ❤

This the realest podcast. I’m over here confessing to my wife in TEARS. God is all over this pod

Dante Bowe is my brother in Christ, blessed by God to bless so many souls. We all fall short, we all sin and make bad choices . We are to pray for one another, and ourselves. Dante Bowe, you are much loved. I love you!! I'm 70 yes old, got saved when I was 23. Your music helped me to get closer to the Lord. You could believe I wasn't making good and right choices all the time all those years , but I'm still here with Jesus being the head of my life and my heart.

Awww what an incredible conversation. You can tell this was therapeutic for him, God Bless you Dante! ❤

When people can't sympathize, they can't contextualize. Thats a word!

Hi Ps Tim and Dante! Thank you for being vulnerable. was one of the people who judged Dante, not on public space but definitely thought about it.. was thinking if men of God who've had a long relationship with God struggle, what happens to me? i struggle with pride and judgement/criticism. I'm here to sincerely apologise on behalf of me and the church.. I'm so glad you're back.. I'm super stoked to see you being vulnerable and open.. praying for you! Praise Jesus for He is good ❤️

This interview is like water. Thank you for your transparency Dante.

I almost didn't watch this, but I had to catch my ignorant thoughts. Thank you for your transparency, your heart and vulnerability. Thank you basement crew! When we look at others, we should look at them the way Jesus does!

Every time i hear a Dante song I pray for him because I truly hope he comes back to the knowledge of the true Christ because he is extremely gifted… The podcast started off surprisingly well I loved when he spoke about his conversion to Christ at 16, that was so beautiful… but I got confused afterwards… he mentioned he did not have any outside influence from the church when he got saved it was just him and God… so how did he become “religious” or “legalistic” as he put it? It’s interesting that when he got saved he cut out everything and became “too religious” maybe just maybe that’s what happens when you meet with the true and living God… I also got saved at 16 years old and I was on fire, there were places I used to go that I didn’t go anymore, things I used to do that I no longer did, did I become judgemental of those who still did those things? No? But there was clearly a difference between us now. When you come into the light and others remain in darkness, they may feel “judged” because too much light can blind them, sometimes light is offensive to those who love darkness (John 3:19) But overtime my fire became lukewarm, not because Jesus didn’t save me but because I chose not to do the things I did at first (Revelation 2:5) I got “fame” and “success” and got caught up in that lifestyle. Christian’s also used to “judge me” and it hurt my feelings it did, but deep down in my heart I knew they were judging me according to the Bible and what they was saying was TRUE even though my flesh wanted to get angry because I wanted to live how I wanted to live and not be judged for it. It’s only recently that I have woken up from my slumber and given my heart BACK to Jesus, I now have a desire to please Him and NOT the world, I take heed to what my Christian brothers, sisters and leaders tell me now (even if they say it in a mean spirited way) I take the meat and I spit out the bones, because people who LOVE me, tell me the truth, people who hate me let me go on believing lies. 23:18 It’s interesting that Dante Bowe said that he starting praying again but NOT reading the bible, friends, that is DANGEROUS. God is His Word and His Word is God. When you don’t read your Bible along with prayer, you open yourself up to seducing spirits that tell you everything your sinful flesh wants to hear. Jesus didn’t say be cool like him, He said be Holy as I am Holy (1 Peter 1:16). He said if you love me keep my commandments (John 14:15) We show we love Jesus by our actions not by our words. He said love not the world, nor the things of this world (1 John 2:15) I’m not surprised Dante got traumatised by the gospel industry because the gospel industry as we know it today is completely demonic, it’s all about money, fame and notoriety, it’s so anti-Christ it’s sad!!! The music industry is a slippery slope, not many people make it out alive, I’m sure Dante started off with a pure heart wanting to use his gifts for God but he needed to be extra careful!!!!!! “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 7:13 Praying for Dante because Jesus still loves him!! 🙏🏾🤍

I love how comfortable Dante is in Tim's home. Says a lot about what The Basement is meant for.

This was soooo BEAUTIFUL! I can’t wait to buy all three . He speaks so intellectually and SPIRITUALLY . Most of all I feel his joy .

Dante has dealt with a lot! so far its been the grace for God, for real. love from Nairobi, Kenya

Thank you sooo much for this episode. I am so incredibly sorry for how judgmental I have been towards Dante and people in general. I am grateful that God is using this episode to re-sensitize me.

I have so much respect for Tim Ross and the basement and his kingdom work making us feel safe to come down. I love you n Dante keep making good music it doesn’t sound like what people think but who made the genre in the first place man God bless y’all 🙏

This is BEAUTIFUL! As a PK I’ve always felt a pressure to be “good” and it go worse the more I got involved IN CHURCH! Singing on the worship team was fun until it wasn’t! I’ve always wanted to be a Soul artist but ppl would say I turned away from God! But the truth is I FOUND GOD and now I’m able to be FREE to be ME not what the church wanted me to be

this was beautiful….freedom allows you to fly with confidence…keep striving to be “cool like Jesus” Dante❤….this podcast is up to something goooood

It felt real for me so I continued to watch/listen. I love Dante very much. Wish you both all the best

I’m so glad that God led me to watch this episode now because it has given deeper context to the transformative season I am in currently. What a gift.

Thank you for your vulnerability Dante.......All i can say this was just a cry for help and as Christians we need to learn to listen.

This right here will heal the deeper pits of your soul. Honesty, transparency, vulnerability you name it. Thank You Jesus. Wisdom Galore ❤❤❤ All the best Dante

I'm proud of this young man also. His light has always shown up differently from the crew, so his path has to be different. Thank you for sharing your talent!❤

I've been hearing about this podcast for months. Glad I watched. Felt like I went to church.

This Pod literally reminds me of ”Voice of God” he was literally writing about being born again years ago. “It's like the sound of a newborn baby crying Like the final breath of a loved one passing… it’s the voice of God and it can make a grown man cry.” It’s him… he’s literally singing about himself in this season of his life…. Man God works in mysterious ways.😌 Also just because someone’s walk with God doesn’t look like yours, it doesn’t give you the right to judge or condemn(John3:17)... it’s at that point that you yourself are walking with judgement not God🧐 I say this out of love ask God to show you( Psalm 139:23-24 )and trust him.. Love to Dante on his walk!

Tim, you confirmed to me that I need to stop feeling the need to discuss when I'm wronged, and just be a blessing to that person. From now on I will be still in that regard, unless the Lord tells me otherwise.

So good to hear Dante is in a good place. I started praying for him when he went through some bumps in the road. I kept saying to the Lord, "Lord bless him as he has been a blessing to me. Whatever is going on, touch him." So happy for what comes next. We love you, Dante. Praying for continued guidance from the Lord.

This one blessed me. 1. Youth and fame. What was I like at 22? A mess! I can't imagine having that kind of fame and then he talked about the anxiety he was under. It makes my heart happy to see him doing well!🎉 I've always enjoyed his voice, but hearing him talk about his "re-birth"... that made me emotional. 2. Experience. Sonetimes we go through things. Hard things, things that we regret. AND God is good! He doesn't leave us alone with our regrets... He uses them. He uses all things. But if we want to be changed, we need to pray. 3. Prayer. It changes me. As I talk to Jesus more regularly it helps me to weed through the noise... to process emotions, to find the truth in what I've done and what others have done to me. Giving me the desire to walk like Jesus. He doesn't promise me the path will be easy. Each day I have the choice whether I'm going to walk in obedience or follow what the world says. Thanks for this conversation!❤

I loved listening to this conversation. I also didn't realize that Dante was so young, but it is so refreshing to hear how God has helped him move forward. I need to check out his new music.

As a person having just turned 30 years old myself, watching this gave me so much more empathy. One reason I love the basement is because of the context I gain about individuals. Man this is good. And what’s crazy is my biggest prayer has been for a rebirth of you will. So good! And when you got to talking about a decluttered soul?! That did it for me. (Now I’m just thinking out loud). I’ve been over here trying to declutter my house thinking that’s what I needed, but what I need is a soul declutter. Wow

I loved this episode. Thank you for having Dante on and letting him share his heart and life. My greatest sadness is seeing a lack of grace in the church when we can all make mistakes. I'm so happy to see Dante living in peace and joy.

We have to leave the judgement of other Christians to The LORD GOD Almighty, we are to PRAY for them!!! GOD will always lead and guide them where they need to be according to His will for them!!! And that Goes For EVERYONE!!!!❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 GOD be with you and bless you, Dante!!!!!🙏🏽❤️

I was praying for Dante when all that “stuff” came out and I am so glad he is REBORN( in his words). This is all part of growing in grace, learning and leaning into Jesus! Thank you Dante for not stopping 🤲🤲💕

I think I smiled the whole podcast! Dante is brand new! his radiance and true happiness having an intimate relationship with Christ and experiencing his love is shining bright! Love it! So happy and proud for him!

I so appreciate Dante speaking his truth. It really blessed me! I pray continued blessing on your life and your music.

We can be talented but when we lack character it can ruin things. When I was a little girl I remember opening up for my favorite Gospel Artist and after the program they brought me to meet her and she was rude and nasty it completely turned me off and changed me negatively. Praise God I got a chance to meet her many years later and she was completely different and I brought up our first meeting and she shared some things with me that caused me to see the human side of her and I give her and anyone else grace. But we as leaders must be mindful of what we do. I pray you young man will continue to grow and inspire.

"a decluttered soul can release a stream" --such an impactful interview, and a reminder of what/who is really important in this life AND why we should love/forgive/have grace for others and ourselves.

Tim’s ability to recall scripture is always so impress to me… that comes from HOURS of being in that book!

This podcast was so refreshing to listen to. I’m 25 and I don’t have it all together either, but God is always refining. God bless you, Dante. Keep going and keep serving!

Thanks for interviewing Dante Bowe...I heard the various sounds on the internet but I also heard him by the Spirit and knew that God called him and anointed him not for himself but by God's choice. God also knew who He called and the work that He designed him for. I praise God that He continues the work He started in Dante.

I really love how little Dante knew about Tim and how bold he was to ask Tim questions about his life while being a guest on his podcast. It's so cool

I’m knew to watching this and I have to say I can’t stop watching. God is all up in this and it’s helping me tremendously with my spiritual life. I thank God for using you to enlighten the spiritual beings and doing away with the religious aspect of it. “He that cometh to me will never thirst” I’m always quenched when I leave one of your classes🛐✝️🙏🏿❤️🌻💐🙌

Just finishing this pod and I love the environment / atmosphere the basement gives. Dante is relaxed with his feet on the sofa. That's that the unfastening of sandals on Holy ground! To God be the Glory...

This episode/conversation was great! I'm happy to see how Dante was able to be relaxed and comfortable, as well as being able to hear in him a level of such peace in his voice/speech. I can't imagine having to live life in front of thousands upon thousands of people while still becoming who Christ Jesus is calling me to be 😕 I think many people forget the stumbles, wrong turns and not so wise decisions made during their Christian walk (in somewhat privacy I'm sure for most) --- and that they are STILL prone to fall victim to spiritual attacks, spiritual immaturity, lack of knowledge/understanding, etc. because let's not get it twisted, the flesh can rise up and still flesh at any given time so that's why Almighty God extends grace and expects grace to be freely given by us to others, ESPECIALLY our brothers and sisters in Christ 🤨 I pray that Dante will continue to heal, grow and serve the Lord in the purpose for which he was created. I pray that the Lord will continuously bless, protect and keep him and his loved ones in all their ways 🙏❤️

A free soul can say so much than a bound one can! -Tim Ross this wasssss so freeing for me!

This 1:46 minutes has been good (beneficial) LOVELY!!! Dante, you're a good man. Thanks for going thru the fire and coming out out praising The Lord. ❤️🕊

Excellent job once again. I shared this with many young Christians.

I am at a stepping "out in the water" point in my life again and God helped me find this podcast today! Thank you both!! ❤

I love Dante...such a unique gift. This show freed me. I have been praying to stop being so judgey and critical...opinionated. God is judge cause he knows everything...seen and unseen. People act and do based from their capacity...I do not know their capacities and what influences affected them as a person. Ye who is without sin cast the first sin...God knows I have my share. Thanks Tim for being obedient...this podcast provides more wisdom than most organized religious groups...church locations do.

I have been praying for this man to come to the basement and here he is ! I felt his love for his father in his music and to listen to his rawness and his journey thus far coming from him was awesome 👏 thank you 🙏

So happy that I watched. Never even heard of The Basement before, my granddaughter knowing how much I love Dante, made sure that I was cued up a few minutes before it started. I am so proud of everything he is doing!

I think another great guest to have on here is D smoke!!! He also from Inglewood, was a Spanish teacher and won rhythm and flow!! 😮

I was a reader for my pastor back home as a young adult 🇿🇦

So glad I came across this interview. I had seen so much negative content regarding this young man and mostly from "Christians"... I pray that he stays in the presence of God and guards himself from the haters operating in the spirit of jealousy... His anointing will always attract it.... I pray he remains unbothered 😊... We fall down, but we gon get back up. TRUST! AMEN!

I've been binge watching The Basement episodes for about 2 weeks now and what I see here is that God has created a safe space for people to 'be' and to have no shame. It makes me think of the 'freedom to be' that Adam and Eve probably enjoyed in the presence of God before the fall.

WHAT !!!!! Preorders available!! YAY,YAY and YAY This was so comforting.

i saw Dante and clicked on this so fast, lets keep loving each other, praying for each other and always hugging each other, especially the people God has called to be a blessing to the kingdom, we are so happy you have found God in a better way, this is beautiful to see, this is the kingdom come as it should be

Thank you Dante Bowe for sharing your story and being so honest. Let's keep in this same vein and bring on Jonathan McReynolds. Actually while we're at it let just check in with all our gospel music brothers and sisters; Dante's story shows that it's hard and lonely at the top. Let's invite them all to the basement!!❤❤

I needed this sooo bad. Thank you so much for this!!! I was meant to hear this.

"You ain't got to answer everybody's questions, if it has nothing to do with your purpose..." #pushthemic - Christ, is the Master lyricist! This interview changed me. This pod helps me. I didn't know him before today, because I love under a rock,lol. But I'm truly inspired by the testimony of this brother, Dante Bowe. Keep being great! I can't wait to get the album. #rebirth🙌🏾 Thank you Holy Spirit for speaking through your vessels directly to me today. Amen.

Love Pastor Tim for having this young man on this pod. Not surprised and grateful for growth and grace in Jesus. ❤ Y'all.

Success is Traumatic Declutter your Soul Both of these will preach!!!

about 40-45 mins into the pod, I realized my cheeks were hurting. I've had a smile plastered on my face for 40 mins straight. The joy of the Lord is so evident in Dante and this episode and I am so happy to witness this in my generation. Thank you for your vulnerability, Dante, and thank you Tim for your obedience to God with this podcast.

Wow! I just watched this podcast and it truly blessed me. I don't know either of you, but I recognize the Jesus in you! Much Love!!

This conversation was just so beautiful and necessary. God bless y'all 😩

@jakhyiajo well said. We will keep praying for Dante. The word of God keeps us accountable . We need to read our Bible.

This reintroduction and rebirth that he speaks of, I LOVE it for him! It looks good on him and he carries it well! And for a lot of reasons I’m glad this conversation took place❤

Kierra help set alot of us free back then. It was probably that 'Free album. Thank God for that pure soul that is Kierra Sheard ❤

Dante I just want you to know I am so glad that you are back doing music. Your music has ministered to me on so many occasions. I prayed for you during your sabbatical. Good to see u doing music. Blessings to you

this was such an incredible episode. The transparency, and vulnerability was truly life changing. Thank you Tim for stewarding this conversation so well, and team for producing such incredible content.

This is the best podcast on the internet PERIOD!

Love this!! You and your wife’s ministry is such a blessing. Love this episode, truly seems like a deeper connection. Like if Dante is called to be a spiritual son for you. I would love to see an interview with mali music

I have no words to describe how grateful I am for this conversation. Thank you 😭💜💜

As you guys talk about the disciples, Dante I’m sure like Peter, Christ was praying for you that you would return and strengthen your brothers and sisters. Thanks for encouraging us today we absolutely love your gift and your return glory to God!! (Luke 22-32)

Thank you Jesus!! Its so nice to see you Dante!!! I will be in tears interceding in prayer whenever I hear the old worship songs and clips. So grateful to see the rebirth the Lord has and is doing within you! Always loved the sweet presence of the Lord, that is present when you are leading worship and praise even from the recorded videos! You are such an inspiration and encouragement. I thank the Lord for you! Looking forward to the new AlbumSS!! God bless you abundantly! Thank you Tim for you genuine and fatherlike facilitation of the conversation on what needs to be heard and what is edifying! God bless you with more wisdom and favour than you already have! Love you brothers! :3

Heal, Reset & Declutter My Soul

I just screamed like a 17 year old white girl in 2000 trying to see my favorite boy band sign autographs at the mall! 💙😂

Love to you Donte!

This pod was so good!!! It woke me up to how I need to deal with people. I am in a transition in my life and dealing with family and friends has been so difficult for me to deal with and I just want to just disappear from around all of them. But listening to this and giving scripture helped me so much. Love the Basement ❤️❤️

Beautiful ❤ thank you so much for your vulnerability

OMG!!!!!!!!!! Like!!!!!!! You guys are just .......I cannot wait for this pod, OMG!!!!!!!

Wow this podcast blessed my soul so much. Im literally tearing up listening to Dante and his transparency. I love Dante and always have. Tim Ross you just dont know how much The Basement has blessed and changed my life. I love you Tim Ross and the basement. Thankyou for your faithfulness and obedience to the lord 🙌🏽🥰. Dante I love you!😊 Welcome to the BiG D, I pray I run into you one day 🤗

Dante you are so loved! One of the best episodes yet! Everyone needs to declutter their life and let Jesus become EVERYTHING!

So proud of you Brother Dante! You are such an example of Christ! The best example we can be is just draw close to Him! Blessed to have you in The Body!

"the decluttering of your soul released a stream from your soul." wow 🤯

Love this, Dante looks so light and happy 😍.

Tim Ross, you're a great blessing to many. I love you for being authentic and bold as you give us the truth. Dante, you're blessed and God loves you greatly. He has you under his wings. I love you and I'm happy you're fully back. Your music has seen me grow. Tim and Dante, you're great guys.

I don’t Burn bridges but I do raise the toll
